End Slide Confusion

**SolarPoweredRV** · 05-31-2019, 05:25 PM

I finally figured out how to control my hydraulic slides without being confused (Thanks GD for NOT labeling the valves).

On our 310GK, there are a pair of small valves located at the top of the Curb Side Propane hold that control the Dining Slide and Refrigerator Slide (Curb side and Street Side). These valves are normally open to allow both slides to operate, however, if you do not want one slide to open then you simply close the valve for the slide you do not want to move. Unfortunately, GD decided to hide these valves way up in the top of the hold and failed to label them, leading to confusion as to which valve controlled which slide.

I finally got around to labeling the valves by placing the labels on the open Propane Door. You simply reach into the hold and feel around for the valve that corresponds to the Slide you want to NOT Move.

The attached photo shows how I labeled which valve controls which slide...

Hope this helps everybody with the same hydraulic slide system.

Thanks for sharing this information. I intend the label all the valves in our 310 GK R. We recently had a problem with our hydraulic leveling and slide rooms. In researching/reading what valves operated what Jacks and Slide Rooms to actuate them manually I realized all the valves needed to be labeled at the valve to make it much easier the next time we needed to operate valves manually. Thanks for giving info on two valves I won't have to look up again.

Are your valves hard to turn? I twisted the knobs off both of mine.

LOL, I made a label for mine, got it wrong, so now my labels are upside down.

Sorry to hear you had problems with your valves. My valves don't have a knob but are opened/closed manually with a 5/32 Allen wrench. They are not hard to turn.

Just realized my post should have been to Recono's post. Sorry.
